But this knotted ...Well - yes, I would say similar. But this knotted rug does have a bit of a different look. For one thing it is thicker than a braided fabric rug, because of the core. The direction of the lines are also different. With a braided rug, the lines are diagonal - like a braid, haha. But the lines on the knotted rug are more squared, sort of. More like graph paper, sort of.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00670017068516575306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6936759563200947460.post-64467251587740521982017-12-29T18:29:54.058-07:002017-12-29T18:29:54.058-07:00Does it look similar to a breaded rag rug?Does it look similar to a breaded rag rug?Courtneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6936759563200947460.post-46050028651010118072017-09-25T15:29:26.156-06:002017-09-25T15:29:26.156-06:00It is such an adjustment when we lose our sweet ma...It is such an adjustment when we lose our sweet mama. It has been 7 years and some weeks I keep thinking, &quot; Oh, I need to call mom to tell her about this or that.&quot; Then just as quickly I remember, ugg, I can&#39;t call her! Sometimes I even stomp my feet. How wonderful that we&#39;ve had great mothers that we miss so much.Mochagramshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06861207331809138051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6936759563200947460.post-65903235732654084352017-09-05T22:39:09.183-06:002017-09-05T22:39:09.183-06:00Sorry to hear this, Janet.

Suddenly losing them &quot;someday&quot; turns to getting ready to lose them soon. It will be a very dark time. Sending out a prayer for you to continue healing from your loss. So glad you are posting again as have been following your blog for inspiration in crafting for my home and gifts for family.

I know that they will eventually pass on, but I don&#39;t think I will ever be ready. I will lean heavily on my faith when they do.<br /><br />The rug is gorgeous and I am new to this type of rug. I look forward to giving it a try. I also look forward to checking out all your older posts and catching up.<br /><br />Warmly,<br />DarleneDarla Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02586908593785930696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6936759563200947460.post-77708631291843894522017-08-09T23:11:07.009-06:002017-08-09T23:11:07.009-06:00Thank you Rachelle.

We always know it&#39;s coming as parents grow older but we always think it will be in the future -- and then it happens and we&#39;re devastated. I&#39;m sure you miss her even more because you were close to her. Thank goodness for the knowledge of eternal families! Blessings to you.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.com
